Sweet thread! I am a huge fly fishing addict. I've been fly fishing the bow for over 10 years now and have pretty much fished every stretch in the city. Foshizzle, I caught my first brown in Riverbend so you are right on some very trouty water.
I found last year to be quite difficult to fish. The flood probably displaced a lot of fish. The only good thing that came from the flood was that it was a new river! The structure changed so much that I'm excited to go scouting for new spots.
I was out earlier this week by the Sue Higgins bridge and the surface action was ok. I thought there should have been more because the caddis were relentless and massive stoneflies were emerging. I only managed one rainbow in 3 hours.
I would totally be down for a CP fly fishing meet on the Bow. A few of us experienced guys can help out a few newbies learn the ropes.
